I'll still pick up a pack or two occasionally, but I'm definitely not the collector I was many years ago. The card companies ruined it by making it nearly impossible for kids to collect. I still have all of my cards, and will keep them forever, but I don't think it'll ever return to the "hobby" it once was. It's all about the almighty dollar now, unfortunately.

I do agree that Fordman's creations are better than many of the actual cards put out these days. Thanks again, Fordman. You do excellent work.

Re: Replica 2013 Topps feat Corky Miller

I quit collecting after high school-early 90's when I went to college. I started back a few years after I graduated and there was a card store near me, but the hobby certainly had changed at that point. I had several years where I was out of control, buying 3-4 boxes of everything that came out, but have scaled back to only collecting a few kinds now-Bowman mostly-since I am married and have a kid. I have instead focused my collecting more on autographs now. I think the hobby has changed, and not for the better IMO, there are still a lot of collectors but worry there arent as many kids that will carry it on for future generations like there were years ago.
